Guess I'm not up on the UP slang! Although I have been to Mackinaw Island...

That makes you a fudgie, and I am a troll for living under the bridge.


Nice find Tews.

I should give an update so here it is. I messed up. Broke an exhaust bolt off on the engine. Tried to drill it out and ruined the threads. Really sucks because the engine ran great and shifted through all the gears. Luckily for me member Mike Kato has a spare head for me. I will be picking that up soon and then the engine will come out. Since I have to pull the wngine I will be attempting to make the engine pretty.

Here is a pic of the head.

Hi Tews,

Have someone weld a nut to the broken stud, and it should turn out.  Maybe not that much of the threads have been ruined yet?

Ha ha, if you can weld a nut to that stud, well, you're a welding stud!

Long over due update. I rebuilt the forks, polished them. Installed all balls tapered bearings. Current mock up will follow.  I have Superbike bars on it currently that need to be tapped out for for wires.

Here is how she sits. Cleaned up the fender. Found a new tank and matching side covers over the winter. I'm still not sure what I will be doing with this bike. I have a brand new Delkevic in the box still. That will be going on soon.

I also repaired the head thread. Heli coiled it.

Fire it up and ride, Tews!
